Ah, the surety that comes from not having all the facts :) point of order: in *nix, it will most definitely complain as you put it. g++ -ggdb -Wall -MD -c -o ofiles/act_info.o act_info.c act_info.c: In function `void do_who (CHAR_DATA *, char *)': act_info.c:2205: warning: too few arguments for format in windows with MSVC++ on the other hand even at warning level 4 it does not complain about extra specifiers.. it just removes/ignores 'em. unless you happen to have removed a argument for a %d and replaced it with an arg for a %s that is. Call it a user-friendly (in my opinion user stupid) feature of a broken compiler. And as far as it goes, he does _not_ "have one too many pointers" he has one too many format specification fields. from the help for sprintf... "Each field of the format specification is a single character or a number signifying a particular format option. The simplest format specification contains only the percent sign and a type character (for example, %s). If a percent sign is followed by a character that has no meaning as a format field, the character is copied to stdout. For example, to print a percent-sign character, use %%. The optional fields, which appear before the type character, control other aspects of the formatting, as follows: type Required character that determines whether the associated argument is interpreted as a character, a string, or a number (see Table R.3)..." If you are gonna [EMAIL PROTECTED] about "common C" get it right :) Steve, still coding :)
